When we first moved into our home the bricks were orange, the stucco beige & the trim turquoise...YUCK! A few years ago we painted the trim.
 We finally decided to finish the rest. First Francis put slate down in our front walkway.
 Then I painted the brick & stucco
 We liked the slate so much that we decided to cut it brick size and cover the brick pilars by the garage door.
 Next up is adding stone to the orange brick by the far right window, getting new gravel & planting the winter lawn.
 
Since the outside is getting all spiffy I decided to do a project inside on our computer desk. Here is the before....
 and now the after.
 I also turned this little mess                                                      into this
 I got the idea off of Pinterest. All it took was 4 paint mixing sticks, wood stain some old house numbers that I spray painted silver & a glue gun.

Busy week!

Kali had one of her best friends from dance come over this week.
 We finally went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of fun stuff to fill our pinatas with. (our backyard is so sad looking since our grass is frying in this heat)
 We spent 2 WHOLE DAYS cleaning this room.

 The kids had Swim Team all week & a meet on Thursday (it was a HOT one)
 They had a great time and each of their relay teams won 2nd place!

Kai also had basketball practice, a game & skills clinic. Kali goes to tumbling during his class but watched a little bit with me before she had to go. Look at this silly girl.
 My sweet, tough, cranky, loud, loveable Kai.

 Kali and I put up the 4th of July decorations
 Kali made these cute firecrackers out of toilet paper rolls, we got the idea on Pinterest.
We just got home from swimming at Grandma Kathi's. Kora is napping and now I am officially exhausted! What an eventful week.

Pinterest Ideas

We have this strange niche in a half wall that used to hold our old t.v. Now it hold random stuff and looks awful so I covered it with a curtain I made.
 I love chevron print!
 I took my old green chalkboard (that I found in a neighbor's trash pile) and painted it with black chalk paint.
 And, I turned the plain black "B" we had on our wall into fabulous front door decor.
I just love all of these awesome ideas on Pinterest.

Pinterest Lovin'

Here are some more fun ideas we tried from Pinterest. Kali & Kai both loved having glow sticks in the bath tub.
We made these a while ago & the kids liked them. Kali & Kai like any craft that involves paint.
This is a great idea for the tooth fairy. I found tiny bottles like this at Michael's in their dollar section. They were almost identical except the ones I bought have cork tops. Kali LOVED getting them from the tooth fairy.

Remember my posts about my sweet little Kora? Well she is gone. Now we have nasty, fussy, screaming Kora. She NEVER wants to take a nap longer than 20 minutes, she is up 4-6 times a night & if she is not being held or fed she is screaming bloody murder. So I totally get this pin :)

Pinterest love

I made a rule for myself that if I am going to spend time on Pinterest (aka the ultime time eater) I have to make one thing a week from my boards. Here are some of the fun things I've made or done from Pinterest. I starting using this awesome idea a few weeks ago
Now my shower is always sparkling clean because I cleaning while I'm in there....so easy & saves time. Score! This was a great idea because nail polish & bobby pins are always around here
The kids loved making these
and of course any idea involving paint is a must for Kali & Kai
These were so easy to make & the kids used yarn to string them into necklaces
Kai loved this Star Wars packet with fun learning games.
I printed these up & laminated them with packing tape. Kali loved them!
